Suppose a large truck on a hydraulic lift exerts 7,000 N of force on a piston with an area of 0.4 m2. The piston can only suppor
uysha [10]

Pressure is the amount of force per unit area. In formula it is,

P = F ÷ A

P = 7000 N ÷ 0.4 m2

P = 17,500 N/m2

The amount of pressure the truck exerts on the piston is 17,500 N/m2

a flowerpot falls from a windowsill 25m above the sidewalk how fast is the flowerpot moving when it strikes the ground
Mariana [72]

s = 25m

v = ?

a = 9.81m/s²

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2x9.81x25

v² = 490.5

v = √490.5

= 22.15m/s

Two 60.o-g arrows are fired in quick succession with an initial speed of 82.0 m/s. The first arrow makes an initial angle of 24.
olganol [36]

Answer:

a) The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters, b) Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.

Explanation:

a) The first arrow is launch in a parabolic way, that is, horizontal speed remains constant and vertical speed changes due to the effects of gravity. On the other hand, the second is launched vertically, which means that velocity is totally influenced by gravity. Let choose the ground as the reference height for each arrow. Each arrow can be modelled as particles and by means of the Principle of Energy Conservation:

First arrow

U_{g,1} + K_{x,1} + K_{y,1} =  U_{g,2} + K_{x,2} + K_{y,2}

Where:

U_{g,1}, U_{g,2} - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

K_{x,1}, K_{x,2} - Initial and final horizontal translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

K_{y,1}, K_{y,2} - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

Now, the system is expanded and simplified:

m \cdot g \cdot (y_{2} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 2}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0

g \cdot (y_{2}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2})

y_{2}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,2}^{2}}{g}

Where:

y_{1}. y_{2} - Initial and final height of the arrow, measured in meters.

v_{y,1}, v_{y,2} - Initial and final vertical speed of the arrow, measured in meters.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

The initial vertical speed of the arrow is:

v_{y,1} = v_{1}\cdot \sin \theta

Where:

v_{1} - Magnitude of the initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

\theta - Initial angle, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

If v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s} and \theta = 24^{\circ}, the initial vertical speed is:

v_{y,1} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \sin 24^{\circ}

v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s}

If g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, v_{y,1} \approx 33.352\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{y,2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, the maximum height of the first arrow is:

y_{2} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(33.352\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

y_{2} - y_{1} = 56.712\,m

Second arrow

U_{g,1} + K_{y,1} =  U_{g,3} + K_{y,3}

Where:

U_{g,1}, U_{g,3} - Initial and final gravitational potential energy, measured in joules.

K_{y,1}, K_{y,3} - Initial and final vertical translational kinetic energy, measured in joules.

m \cdot g \cdot (y_{3} - y_{1}) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot (v_{y, 3}^{2} -v_{y, 1}^{2}) = 0

g \cdot (y_{3}-y_{1}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot (v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2})

y_{3}-y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{v_{y,1}^{2}-v_{y,3}^{2}}{g}

If g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, v_{y,1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s} and v_{y,3} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, the maximum height of the first arrow is:

y_{3} - y_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }

y_{3} - y_{1} = 342.816\,m

The first arrow reaches a maximum height of 56.712 meters, whereas second arrow reaches a maximum height of 342.816 meters.

b) The total energy of each system is determined hereafter:

First arrow

The total mechanical energy at maximum height is equal to the sum of the potential gravitational energy and horizontal translational kinetic energy. That is to say:

E = U + K_{x}

The expression is now expanded:

E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v_{x}^{2}

Where v_{x} is the horizontal speed of the arrow, measured in meters per second.

v_{x} = v_{1}\cdot \cos \theta

If v_{1} = 82\,\frac{m}{s} and \theta = 24^{\circ}, the horizontal speed is:

v_{x} = \left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot \cos 24^{\circ}

v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}

If m = 0.06\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, y_{max} = 56.712\,m and v_{x} \approx 74.911\,\frac{m}{s}, the total mechanical energy is:

E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (56.712\,m)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(74.911\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}

E = 201.720\,J

Second arrow:

The total mechanical energy is equal to the potential gravitational energy. That is:

E = m\cdot g \cdot y_{max}

m = 0.06\,kg, g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} and y_{max} = 342.816\,m

E = (0.06\,kg)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (342.816\,m)

E = 201.720\,J

Both arrows have a total mechanical energy at their maximum height of 201.720 joules.
